After already enjoying the Cardston Parade and the Whoop-Up Days Parade, I’m looking forward to ending August, celebrating and talking with constituents at the Taber Cornfest.

This month, I presented three Community Initiatives Grants within the constituency; Taber Photography Club, Cardston Girls Choir Society, and Hill Spring School Playground, as well as a Community Facility Enhancement Grant to the Taber Food Bank Society.

I was pleased that Premier Stelmach was able to attend the 2010 South West Alberta Regional P.C. Golf Tournament and Dinner at Paradise Canyon Golf and Country Club on August 23rd. It was a fun day with plenty of sunshine.

I had the pleasure of attending the Alberta Rural Physicians Award of Distinction Ceremony in which Dr. Robert Wedel was honored for his work and ontributions to community through his medical practice, teaching other health professionals, conducting research and volunteering in the community. Congratulations Dr. Robert Wedel !
